Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Monday evening Luau

Reviewed by: Married 13 years

We had a wonderful time. There were a lot of children there and the staff used quite a lot of sexual innuendo so I would not take my children. Was not crowded. We got to do quite a few of the activities and crafts which was fun. I felt pampered and the night was romantic. The pork is out of this world. Pleanty of food. Music and dancing were fabulous.

Note:get to know your camera and practice taking photos at dusk with moving images. Otherwise when you get home your photos willl be all blurry.

I felt healed! 癒されました！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I've been coming to Hawaii almost every year, but my itinerary usually revolves around shopping and relaxing at the beach, so I haven't booked many activities. This time, I wanted to fully experience the power of nature and feel rejuvenated, so I signed up for a tour.

Waking up early was really tough, but the tour was so fulfilling that it made it all worth it!

The malasadas I had at Leonard's after rubbing my sleepy eyes were delicious! Since the location requires a rental car, I appreciated the convenience of stopping by as part of the tour.

Finally, we arrived at the west coast and boarded the boat to start the tour. After searching for dolphins for a while, we spotted a pod! We quickly jumped into the water, and although it wasn't for long, I was moved to see wild dolphins up close. It was a moment that made me feel the beauty and grandeur of nature, even a sense of divinity.

We then moved to a spot where we could see turtles. I heard that there were eight the day before, but on the day I participated, there were only two. A large turtle and a slightly smaller one were being cleaned by little fish.

I personally loved this part, so I spent the whole time watching the turtles and eagerly chasing after them! The turtles had a different vibe from the dolphins, but their grace underwater was truly mesmerizing, and I found myself just gazing at them. The distance to a turtle that came up for air was only about 30 cm, which surprised me!

After enjoying watching the dolphins and turtles, it was lunchtime. The homemade burgers made by the captain were delicious...

I felt like I could completely forget about work and the troubles I left behind in Japan and became pure.

Since people of all ages, from small children to adults, participated, I felt it was a great tour that anyone could enjoy.

If you want to play with nature in Hawaii, I definitely recommend Dolphin University!

ハワイには毎年のように来ているけれど、毎回お買い物とビーチでのんびり・・・という日程ばかりで、あまりアクティビティを予約することはなかった私。
今回はせっかくなので、自然の力をめいっぱい感じて癒されたくて申し込みました。

朝早起きなのはすごくきつかったけれど・・・
そんなの吹き飛ぶくらい、充実した手ごたえのあるツアーでした☆

眠い目をこすりながら到着したLenard'sで食べたマラサダのおいしかったこと！
レンタカーがないといけないロケーションなので、ツアーのついでに立ち寄ってくれるありがたみを感じました。

いよいよ西海岸に到着し、船に乗り込んでツアーがスタート。
イルカを探して少したつと・・・イルカの群れを発見！
早速海に入り、あまり長い間ではなかったけれど・・・野生のイルカをあんなに間近で見ることができて、感動！
自然の美しさというか、壮大さというか・・・神々しさすら感じた瞬間でした。

その後場所を移動して、カメのいるポイントへ。
前の日は８匹もいたそうですが、私の参加した日は２匹だけ。
大きなカメさんとすこし小さなカメさんが２匹、小魚たちにお掃除されてました。

個人的に大好きだったので、このポイントでは終始カメさんを眺め・・・夢中で追いかけてましたｗ
イルカとまた違った雰囲気のカメさんですが、水中での姿は本当に優雅で・・・ぽけーっと眺めてしまいました。
息継ぎに水面まで上がってきたカメさんとの距離はほんの30cmほど。あまりの近さにびっくりしてしまいましたｗ

散々イルカやカメを見てはしゃぎ、子供の気持ちに戻れたところでお昼時間。
船長パパさん手作りのハンバーガーのおいしかったこと・・・

日本においてきた仕事のことや、面倒なことをきれいさっぱり忘れて、Pureになれた気がしました。

小さな子供から大人まで、幅広い年齢の方が参加されていたので、どなたでも楽しめるとてもよいツアーだと感じました。

ハワイで大自然と戯れたい方はぜひ！イルカ大学をお勧めします☆

I went to see dolphins! A few years ago, I went on another tour to see dolphins, but the weather was not great, and I didn't encounter many, so this time I went for a revenge tour at Dolphin University.

As for my impressions, I think it's nice that they call you 30 minutes before pickup in the morning, which is reassuring for those who might worry about oversleeping. The pickup van is also very noticeable, as you can see in the photos. Just be careful not to confuse it with Dolphin Junior High.

The stop at Leonard's is convenient since it's hard to get there on your own, and it's nice to be able to check out a popular spot.

The most important part, the dolphin tour, was great; the staff were cheerful, and I think anyone would enjoy it.

However, when I went, it was full, and the boat was crowded, so I think a smaller group would be better.

There weren't many waves, but for those who are not used to being on boats or swimming in deep water, there might be a slight tension that could lead to seasickness. I recommend that anyone who is prone to motion sickness take some medication beforehand.

You wouldn't want to miss out on the delicious cheeseburger!

If I want to see dolphins in Hawaii again, I'll definitely rely on Dolphin University!

イルカ見てきました♪
何年か前に、他のツアーでイルカを見に行きましたが
天候がイマイチであんまり出会えず、今回リベンジで、イルカ大学で行ってきました。
感想としては、朝、ピックアップ３０分前に確認の電話をくれるのは、万が一寝過したらっと不安になる方とかにはいいと思います。
お迎えのバンも写真のとおり目立って分かりやすいです。
ただ、イルカ中学と間違えないようにですが。
レナーズの立ち寄りも、自分で行くには不便なので話題のお店も抑えれる点でもいいと思います。

一番大事な、イルカツアーですが、スタッフも明るいですしどんな方が行っても楽しめるとおもいます。

ただ、私が行った時は、満員で船の中もいっぱいでゆっくりできなかったので、もう少し少人数のほうがいいかなと思います。

波とかはあんまりなかったですが、普段、船に乗りなれてない方や海の深いところで泳がれたりしていない人は、微妙な緊張で酔ったりすると思うので、少しでも、酔う心配のある人は、酔い止めを飲まれることをお勧めします。

せっかくのおいしいチーズバーガーが食べれなくなります。

また、ハワイで、イルカに会いたくなったらイルカ大学でお世話になります☆

Swimming with Dolphin Sensei? イルカ先生と泳ぐ？？？

Reviewed by: kamoc

I participated in the $7.77 campaign with my mom.

The day started with a morning call from our guide, Yuriko (laughs).

This time, Yuriko's child was also with us. Yuriko is a very friendly person.

First, we had the famous malasadas from Leonard's. They are incredibly delicious. Each person gets one, so if you want more, you can order extra at your own expense. However, the time here is short, so if you want to eat, make sure to do it quickly.

During the car ride, we got to hear a lot of stories about Hawaii from Yuriko. Along the way, we passed by the house of Konishiki and headed to our destination.

I love dolphins and visit SeaWorld in Japan several times a year to interact with them. My dream was to swim with dolphins in the wild! However, perhaps due to my high expectations, I felt a bit disappointed with the experience of swimming with them.

Once we found the dolphin point by boat, we put on life jackets and entered the sea. It would be better to say we saw the dolphins swimming below us. I had imagined dolphins swimming beside me, so it was a bit disappointing. However, I understand that the dolphins have their own schedules, so it might have been different on another day.

Also, due to time constraints, it felt quite rushed. The snorkeling time afterward was much more relaxed, so I wish we could have spent a little more time with the dolphins. I saw dolphins twice out of the four opportunities we had. It felt like as long as everyone got to see the dolphins, that was good enough.

One positive aspect was that the staff provided a lot of support for my mom, who can't swim at all. Since she was with the staff, she might have seen the dolphins more than I did.

After the dolphins, we moved on to snorkeling. I was surprised to see many yellow fish around the boat. They were beautiful, but it felt unnatural that they were being fed.

While snorkeling, we encountered a sea turtle. It was amazing to see it up close! The time spent with the sea turtle felt more relaxed than with the dolphins, allowing me to really enjoy the experience.

The cheeseburger on the boat afterward was nice because of the setting, but the taste was average.

Overall, the tour had a strong promotional aspect. While I do think it was good, that's something individuals will feel differently about.

$7.77キャンペーンでハハと二人で参加してきました。

当日はガイドの由里子さんのモーニングコールから始まり（笑）

今回は由里子さんのお子さんも一緒でした。
由里子さんはとてもフレンドリーな方です。

まずは有名なレナーズのマラサダから。
これめちゃ美味しいです。
一人一個なので足りない方は自腹で追加注文もOKです。
ただここでの時間は短いので、食べたい方は早めに。

車中では由里子さんのハワイ話が沢山聞けます。
途中、コニシキさんの実家の前を通り、現地へ。

私はイルカが大好きで、日本でもシーワールドには年に数回足を運んでイルカと触れ合ったりもしています。
そんな私の夢が、自然のイルカと一緒に泳ぐ！でした。
そんな過度な期待のせいか、イルカと泳ぐってこれ？って感じでした。

船でイルカポイントを見つけたらライフジャケットを着て海に入ります。
そして下を通り過ぎるイルカ先生を見ると言った方がいいかな。
イメージとしては自分のわきをイルカが泳ぐという感じだったのでちょっと残念。
ただイルカ先生の都合もあると思うので、他の日とかなら違ったのかもしれませんが。

あと時間のせいかかなり急いだ感がありました。
その後のシュノーケリングの時間がかなり余裕があったので、それならもう少しイルカ先生を見たかったです。
私は4回のうち2回イルカを見れました。
とりあえず全員がイルカを見れればOKな感じもしました。

良かったのは全く泳げないハハをスタッフの方がかなりフォローしてくださって助かりました。
スタッフの方と一緒だったので、私よりハハのほうがイルカ先生を見れたかもしれません。

イルカ先生の後は異動してシュノーケリングです。
船の周りには沢山のイエローフィッシュでビックリしました。
綺麗でしたが餌付けされているのが不自然ではありました。

シュノーケリングをしていると海がめに遭遇。
こちらは間近で見られて感激！
イルカ先生よりも海がめの方が時間もゆったり流れ、
自然に身を任せられるので気持ちよかったぁ。

その後の船上でのチーズバーガーは、船上ということで気持ちいいですが、味は普通です。

全体を通してですが、ツアーのアピールが強いです。
確かに良いと思いますが、それは個人が感じること

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」フラ&ファイヤーダンスの本格ディナーショー　＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ＞

The fire dance is full of excitement! ファイヤーダンスは迫力満点！

Reviewed by: け

I participated with my grandparents and my parents, making a group of five. Since the venue was the same as our hotel, the Hilton, it was very easy to join.

The explanations from the show’s host were all in English, so I was a bit confused about the buffet details and how to order drinks, but it wasn't a major issue, and I was able to enjoy myself. The show itself was enjoyable even without understanding English, and I think you can really feel the atmosphere of enjoying a show and dinner in Hawaii. The food was delicious, and although there was a line at the buffet at first, it became less crowded after everyone got their food, making it easy to go back for seconds.

I also thought it would have been better to have a bit more detailed information about the meeting place and ticket exchange upon arrival. Even when I managed to get to the designated meeting spot, there was no specific guidance for Alan1, and everyone started walking to the venue, so I just followed along and ended up lining up at the ticket exchange window... I felt a bit anxious until it all started. In the end, I was able to participate properly, so that was good.

祖父母と親子の５人で参加しました。
ちょうど会場が宿泊ホテルのヒルトンと同じだったので、とても気軽に参加できました。

ショーの司会の説明などはすべて英語だったので、ビッフェ形式の説明やドリンクの注文の仕方など少し戸惑いましたが、どうしようもないくらい困ることも無く、楽しむことができました。
ショー自体は英語が分からなくても十二分に楽しめる内容で、ハワイでショー＆ディナーを楽しむという雰囲気は感じられると思います。食事も美味しかったですし、ビッフェは最初は行列が出来ましたが、一通り取り終わるとガラガラでお代わりも行きやすかったです。

あと、現地での集合場所や参加時のチケット引換などについて、もう少し詳しく説明があれば良かったと思いました。
指定された集合場所に何とか着いても特にAlan1としての案内は無く、みんながゾロゾロ会場に歩き出すのでなんとなく付いて行って、なんとなくチケット交換窓口に並んで・・・といった感じで始まるまで少し不安でした。結果としてはちゃんと参加できたのでよかったですが・・・。

It's the best!! 最高っ！！

Reviewed by: Hoaloha☆s

To be honest, I didn't have high expectations before going.

I feel embarrassed for thinking that because it was truly a fun tour. When we spotted the dolphins, I was squealing like a child! Not only did we see dolphins, but we also got to see beautifully colored fish and the honu, which is said to bring good luck. The honu moved slowly, and I was able to swim right alongside it. I was so close that I almost bumped into it!

I was really healed by this experience!

The staff were also very friendly, making it a fun time.

I tend to get motion sickness, but the local motion sickness medicine called Doramamin sold at ABC works wonders! It’s important to take one pill the night before the tour to get your body used to the medication. Thanks to Doramamin, I was able to enjoy it 200%!

I've participated in various tours before, but this is the number one tour!

If I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely participate! I will be a repeat customer for sure!

正直なところ、行くまではあまり期待していませんでした。

そんな自分が恥ずかしい！！って思うくらい、本当に楽しいツアーでした。
イルカを見つけたトキには、子どもに戻ったようにキャーキャー言ってました！！
そしてイルカだけでなく、キレイな色の魚や幸せを呼ぶと言われているホヌを見る事ができました。
ホヌは動きもゆっくりで真横で一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。
私がよけなきゃぶつかっちゃうくらい近くで見ました。

本当に癒されました！！

スタッフのみなさんも、とてもフレンドリーで楽しくすごす事ができました。

私は乗り物酔いがすごいのですが、ＡＢＣに売っているDoramaminと言う現地の酔い止めはすごく効きます！！
ツアーの前の夜に１錠飲んで、体を薬に慣れさせておくのがポイントだそうです。
Doramaminのおかげで２００％楽しむ事ができました！！

今までいろいろなツアーに参加しましたが、No1のツアーです！！

またHAWAIIに行ったら絶対参加します！！
リピーター間違いなし！！

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Paradise Cove Luau - July 2010

Reviewed by: RC

As a first time visitor to Hawaii ,I was not sure what to expect from a Luau. The Luau actually begins on the bus ride to Paradise Cove. We were greeted, welcomed and entertained by our host, "Cousin Bronson." He told funny stories and jokes and explained what to expect before we arrived to our destination. This made everyone feel "connected" and a part of the "family."

Paradise Cove Luau was enjoyable and it was a great experience for all of us. The Paradise Cove entertainers were very well trained and showed a great deal of confidence and expertise in their skills and their dances. Afterwards, they were available for pictures and autographs. Paradise Cove is a wonderful setting for a luau. Very beautiful location for the setting sun pictures.

The trip back to our hotel was another entertaining ride with more stories and jokes from Bronson. I would recommend Paradise Cove Luau to anyone. Great job!

You can really swim with wild dolphins. 本当に野生のイルカと泳げます

Reviewed by: 雷太

I had signed up for a different tour last time, but we ended up chasing dolphins in the bay, with phrases like, "Hey, chase them! They're over there! Look, over there!" and ultimately, we couldn't see them underwater. I thought to myself, "It's wild after all," when I saw the photos of people swimming with dolphins, thinking this was a rare case. However, to my surprise, I was able to see a pod of dolphins swimming underwater from above and the side, just like in the photos. I believe this was largely thanks to the instructors. They carefully guided us by saying, "Come over here! Look ahead, look down!" to show us where the dolphins were.

On the boat, the captain, who somewhat resembled Gary Sinise (which reminded me of Forrest Gump), along with the staff, performed hula and played the ukulele! Even when they were distributing the hamburgers for lunch, they always created a cheerful atmosphere that made the guests feel a sense of unity. The staff, especially one who resembled the cheerful enka singer Jero, helped create a relaxed feeling.

The only downside was that there was a family with a child around three years old, and at first, the child was crying loudly, which scared the dolphins away. I hope participants consider the age of their children when joining.

前回別のツアーに申し込んだのですが、イルカがいる湾内で、”ほれ、追いかけろ！あそこにいるぞ！ほれ！あっちだ”みたいな感じで、ひたすらイルカを追いかけて、結局水中では見られませんでした。やはり野生だからね~~と、こちらの一緒にイルカと泳ぐ写真をみたときも、こういうのはまれなケースだよと思っていましたが、なんと、写真と同じ、群れをなして泳ぐイルカを水中で上から、横から見ることができました。それはインストラクターのスタッフのお陰によるところが大きいと思います。”こっちきて！前見て、下見て”とイルカがどこにいるか、丁寧に誘導してくれます。また、船上では、どことなくケーリー・シニーズに似た船長（なので、フォレストガンプを思い出しました）とスタッフによるフラや、ウクレレ演奏！そして昼食のハンバーガーを配るときもいつも陽気にお客さんに一体感を感じさせる演出をしてくれます。親切で陽気な演歌歌手ジェロ似のスタッフを始め、リラックスした気持ちにさせてくれます。
ただ残念だったのは、3歳くらいの子供を連れた親子がいたのですが、最初子供が泣き叫び、その声でイルカが逃げて行ってしまいました。参加する人も子供の年齢を考えてほしいものです。

The World of The Big Blue グラン・ブルーの世界

Reviewed by: Takeshi

It has been 22 years, but I remember watching the movie "The Big Blue" in high school. I recall seeing it in a nearly empty theater. A few years later, it was re-released as "The Grand Blue," and this time it was so popular that there were people standing. Many must have seen it then. It was a work that brought attention to Jean Reno and director Luc Besson.

Set against beautiful visuals, it tells a story of friendship with rivals and a love story with a partner. Dolphins appear throughout, adding spice to the narrative. And the meaning of the final scene is somewhat unclear. Yet, for some reason, it remains a work that I want to include in my top three, lingering in my heart. That was my impression until now.

However, after participating in Dolphin University, I experienced an indescribable shock of emotion. I felt that this emotion is very much linked to the world of "The Grand Blue." I realized I had misunderstood the way to appreciate the film. I now clearly understand what the real-life figure Jacques Mayol wanted to convey, as well as the meaning behind that final scene. While it's something that can be read in critiques, experiencing it at Dolphin University is the closest way to grasp it. Words cannot express it.

I wrote something that sounds preachy, but overall, I truly had a wonderful time. The malasadas that Yuriko, a heavy customer, reserved were much tastier than buying them in line, and my wife, who has a fear of the sea, looked like a child waiting in line for an injection, but she seemed very satisfied with the cheerful crew and Keoni's escort.

Yuriko is also great with children, full of energy until the batteries run out. I, who am on the verge of being overweight and lacking exercise, regretted underestimating stand-up paddle surfing that I saw on TV. I resolved to tighten my waist and address my lack of exercise during the hula lesson on the way back.

Cynthia takes beautiful photos, so my advice would be to not bring a camera and focus on enjoying the experience; you might as well buy the DVD and CD-ROM. I will participate again to receive the power of the earth, sea, and life. If possible, I would like to enter this world during the off-season when there are fewer people.

もう22年前ですが、高校の時にグレート・ブルーという映画を見ました。人気がなく、貸し切り状態の映画館で見ていたのを思い出します。数年後にグラン・ブルーという名前で、完全版として再上映。この時は、立ち見が出るほどの人気だったので、見た人も多かったのではないでしょうか。ジャン・レノ、リュック・ベッソン監督の名前を世に知らしめた作品です。
美しい映像を背景に、ライバルとの友情や恋人とのラブストーリー。スパイスを利かせながら随所に出てくるイルカ。そして真意がよくわからないラストシーン。しかし、なぜかベスト3に入れたくなるようないつまでも心に残っている作品。というのが今までの感想でした。
ところが、イルカ大学に参加して何とも言えない衝撃的な感動を受けました。そして、この感動がグラン・ブルーの世界と非常にリンクしている。というのを感じます。映画の見方を間違ってました。実在の人物であるジャック・マイヨールが言いたかった事が今ははっきりとわかります。そして、あのラストシーンが意味することも。人の評論を読めば書いてあることですが、イルカ大学で体感することが最も近いと思います。言葉では表せません。
と、説教じみたことを書きましたが、全体を通して本当に楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ヘビーカスタマー(～)のユリコさんが予約していてくれたマラサダは列に並んで買うよりずっと美味しく、海上では注射の列に並ぶ子供のような顔をしていた、海恐怖症の家内も、陽気なクルー、キオニのエスコートで大満足の様子。
ユリコさんは子供の扱いも上手で、電池が切れるまで全開。運動不足、メタボぎりぎりの私は、テレビで見たスタンドアップパドルサーフィンをなめていたと後悔。帰りのフラレッスンでウエストの引き締めと運動不足解消を決意。
シンシアさんがとても綺麗に写真を撮ってくれるので、アドバイスとしてはカメラを持っていかずに、楽しむことに集中して、ＤＶＤ＆ＣＤ−ＲＯＭを買ってもいいと思います。
また大地と海と生命のパワーをもらいにまた参加させてもらいます。個の世界に入るために、できれば人の少ないオフシーズンに。

They take a few photos for about $25 on the boat, so I definitely think you should have them take your pictures (you'll get the film).

私自身、絶叫マシーンはぜんぜん大丈夫なのですが、このパラセイリングはとても絶叫しました。

信じられない Unbelievable

Reviewed by: Hitomi

I have always dreamed of swimming with dolphins. While there are tours in Japan where you can interact with trained dolphins, I was thrilled to find a tour where I could swim with wild dolphins! I thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I booked it without hesitation.

This time, I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon. I was excited even before we left! It felt unbelievable that I would actually get to meet wild dolphins…

On the morning of the tour, I took motion sickness medication since I tend to get seasick (I highly recommend that anyone who gets seasick definitely takes it!). We waited for our pick-up. The person picking us up was Yuriko, the director of Dolphin University. Even at 5:30 AM, she was very refreshing and a tough director.

Our first stop was Leonard's. It seems they had called ahead for us, and the freshly made malasadas were fluffy, chewy, and incredibly delicious!

Then we set off for the West Coast! Yuriko drove while guiding us, and before we knew it, we had arrived.

The captain and crew who greeted us were all natural and had wonderful smiles. They radiated a happy aura!

And finally, we set sail! First, we all prayed for safety and tossed flowers into the sea. I love this romantic touch!

After a while, we could see dolphins jumping! We had arrived at the spot. Everyone hurried into the water, following the crew member, Jay. He shouted, "Look here!!" Below in the deep sea, there were a mother and baby dolphin! They were really there, swimming alongside us!

Then we spotted a pod and rushed to get closer. However, they were just out of reach. I wished we could swim with them more closely when Jay dove deep and touched a dolphin! The dolphin came right up to us! Jay was so cool. Thank you!

After that, we changed locations and swam with sea turtles next. We also experienced sea kayaking and paddle surfing. Paddle surfing was my first time, and I kept getting swept away, no matter how hard I paddled, I couldn't get back to the boat… Just when I was wondering what to do, our hero, Jay, came to rescue me in the kayak. I was so glad to have Jay with us!

Then we all enjoyed hamburgers that the captain had grilled, danced the hula, and returned to port.

It was a dream-like day!

私はずっとイルカと一緒に泳ぐことが夢でした。
飼われたイルカと触れ合えるツアーは日本でもあるけど、
野生のイルカと泳げるツアーがあるなんて！ここでしかできないと思い迷わず予約。

ハワイには今回新婚旅行で。
行く前からワクワク☆
本当に野生のイルカに会えるなんてとっても信じられない感じ…

ツアー当日の朝。
酔いやすいので酔い止めを飲んで（酔いやすい方は絶対飲むことをオススメします！）迎えを待ちます。
お迎えはイルカ大学の学院長のYurikoさん、朝5:30なのにとってもさわやかで
タフな学院長です。

最初に立ち寄ったのはレナーズ。
事前に電話で頼んでくれていたそうで
揚げたてのマラサダはふあふあモチモチでとってもおいしい☆

そしてウエストコーストへ出発！
Yurikoさんが運転しながらガイドをしてくれるので
窓の外を眺めてたらあっという間に到着。

出迎えてくれた船長＆クルーはみんな自然体で笑顔がステキです。
ハッピーなオーラが出てる！

そしていよいよ出港！
まずはみんなで安全を願ってお祈りをし、海にお花を投げます。
こうゆう感じもロマンチックで好きです☆

しばらくするとイルカがジャンプしてるのが見える！
ポイントに到着です。
急いでみんな海の中へ、クルーのジェイに付いていきます。
ジェイ『ココミテ！！』
深い海の下にイルカの親子が！
野生のイルカだ~！ほんとにいたよ！
一緒に海を泳いでる☆

それから群れを発見、急いで近づきます。
でも手には届かない距離。もっと近くで一緒に泳ぎたいなぁと思っていたら、
ジェイが深くまでもぐってイルカにタッチ！
イルカがすぐそこまで上がってきました☆
ジェイかっこよすぎです。ありがとう！

その後ポイントを変えて、
次はウミガメと泳ぎます。
そしてシーカヤック＆パドルサーフィンも体験。
パドルサーフィンは初体験でどんどん流されてしまい、漕いでも漕いでも船に戻れない…
どうしようと思っていたら私たちのヒーロー、ジェイがシーカヤックで助けに来てくれました。
もぅジェイ…ジェイが一緒でほんとに良かった☆

そして、みんなでそろって船長が焼いていてくれたハンバーガーを食べて、フラダンスを踊り
帰港。

夢のような一日☆
本当に

Last year, I entered Iruka Junior High School, and this year I progressed to university. Compared to last year, I was thrilled to be welcomed by nearly 100 dolphins. I was able to swim very close to them and even hear their voices. Just being in the water was soothing for my heart, and swimming with the dolphins felt amazing. It felt like all my daily stress and fatigue disappeared in an instant. Last year was cold and I felt unwell, but this time there was a wetsuit rental, which made it even more enjoyable. The snacks and the hamburgers for lunch were delicious. I think it would have been even better if there were warm drinks available. I would like to participate again next year.

昨年、イルカ中学校に入学して、今年は大学に進学しました。昨年に比べ、100頭ちかくのイルカが出迎えてくれて感激しました。とても近くで一緒に泳げ、イルカの声も聞くことができました。水の中にいるだけでも、心が癒されるのに、ましてやイルカとともに泳げるなんてとても気持ちよかったです。日ごろのストレスや疲れが一気に吹っ飛んだ感じでした。昨年は寒くて気分が悪くなりましたが、今回はウエットスーツの貸出しがあり、より楽しめました。おやつやランチのハンバーガーもおいしかったです。温かい飲み物があればもっと良かったと思います。また来年、参加したいと思いました。

Applause for the dolphins' wonderful spins!! イルカのすばらしいスピンに拍手！！

Reviewed by: 柿坪礼子

We participated for the first time with my 63-year-old and 60-year-old sisters and their three daughters, a total of five people. The dolphins appeared as if to welcome us, showing off their impressive spins multiple times. It was truly moving. After that, our elderly mothers, who are not very good swimmers, also did their best. We swam with the dolphins and were captivated by their cute sounds. Following Yurika's preview, we were mesmerized by the beauty of the colorful fish and the turtles dancing in the underwater palace.

The daughters also enjoyed kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. I think it was wonderful to experience the greatness, beauty, and gentleness of nature and to share this emotion together. I am grateful for the hospitality of Yurika and each staff member who supported us elderly participants. If we come to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate in another program. Thank you for everything.

６３歳と６０歳の姉妹、その娘達３名、計５名で今回初めて参加しました。私たちを歓迎するかのようにイルカ達はすぐに姿を現し、何度も見事なスピンを見せてくれました。ただただ感動。その後は泳ぎはあまり得意でない高齢のママ達も頑張りました。イルカ達と一緒に泳ぎ、その可愛い鳴き声に魅せられました。その後ゆりこさんの予告通り、カラフルな魚達、かめが舞う竜宮城の美しさにしばし見とれました。
娘達はカヤックやスタンドアップパドルなども楽しみました。自然の偉大さ、美しさ、やさしさに触れ何よりもこの感動を共有できた事が私はすばらしかったと思います。
高齢の私達をサポートしてくださったゆりこさんはじめスタッフお一人お一人のホスピタリティーに感謝します。またハワイに来る事があればぜひ今度は別のプログラムにも参加したいと思います。お世話になりました。ありがとうございました。

2-Hour Jurassic Valley Kualoa Ranch ATV Raptor Adventure Tour - Most Popular!

ATV ROCKED!

Reviewed by: Carina

I loved this activity!!!! The ATV's were sooo cool!!! It took me a little to get a hold of it, so me and my bf went on a separate group. It was just the three of us, including my instructor Jacob. Jacob was great, very informative and he even let us do some cool turns. The views are to die for, specially the china-man's hat. We saw where 50 First Dates was filmed, and stood inside Godzilla's paw!!! This is nothing like driving a car, it is much cooler. This is definitely something I would do everywhere I go. Do the 2 hour ATV, gives you enough time, because once it's over you are going to wish there were 4 hour ATV's!!

Mother and baby dolphins (^^)v 親子イルカ(^^)v

Reviewed by: なおぴこ

We came to Hawaii for our honeymoon and were really looking forward to swimming with dolphins. The malasadas from Leonard's that we tried first were fluffy, crispy, sweet, and incredibly delicious, instantly lifting our spirits.

Once we got on the boat, a pod of dolphins appeared right away, jumping repeatedly in front of us. When we entered the water, a mother and baby dolphin swam alongside me, which was very moving.

The paddleboarding was a bit challenging at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was fun to paddle smoothly. It was great to have unique experiences like kayaking with my husband. The hamburger we had when we were starving was especially delicious.

The staff were very lively, and although I thought I might feel embarrassed doing hula dancing, I ended up having so much fun and danced enthusiastically. It was truly a wonderful day and became the best memory of our honeymoon.

ハネムーンでハワイに来た私たちはイルカと泳ぐのをとても楽しみにしていました。
最初に寄ったレナーズのマラサダはふんわりさっくりとして甘くてとても美味しくて、いきなり楽しい気持ちになってきました。
海について船に乗り込むと、早速イルカの群れが現れて、私達の見ている前で何度も何度もジャンプを見せてくれました。
海に入ると、親子イルカが私と一緒に泳いでくれてとても感動しました。
また、パドルボートはちょっと難しかったけど、なれるとすいすい漕げて楽しかったし、だんなさまと一緒に乗ったカヤックなどなかな出来ない体験が出来て良かったです。
おなかぺこぺこになった時に食べたハンバーガーは一段と美味しかったです。
スタッフの方たちもとてもノリが良くて、フラダンスをやるなんて恥ずかしいかなと思っていたけど、たのしくてノリノリで踊っちゃいました。
本当に楽しい１日でハネムーンの最高の思い出になりました。

My 15 year old son and I had an awesome time and would love to go again! Everything went well, from the online registration to on site check in to the parasailing itself. What really made the trip for us were the two guys that ran the show. They were friendly, polite and put you at ease right away. They totally made the experience. We got the photos and are so glad we did - they turned out great and captured the experience even better than we hoped.

I feel healed by the dolphins! イルカに癒されます！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I enrolled in Dolphin University on June 20, 2010, and graduated successfully. It was our family's second trip to Hawaii, but it was my first time visiting to meet the dolphin instructors. The motivation was that I wanted my child to play with dolphins! However, I was skeptical about whether we would really have a 90% chance of seeing wild dolphins. Still, I decided to enroll in Dolphin University because I heard there were various activities even if we didn't see dolphins.

On the day of the trip, the weather was clear, and we enjoyed delicious malasadas, which already had everyone's spirits high. But once we got on the boat, the wind was strong, and the boat was rocking quite a bit... Some of the other participants looked a bit queasy. While we searched for dolphins, we tried to distract ourselves by taking in the beautiful scenery of Ko Olina, but we couldn't find any dolphins for a while. However, the captains worked hard to find them, and we finally spotted the dolphins we had been hoping for. They jumped and spun in front of the boat... all feelings of nausea disappeared.

As soon as we jumped into the sea, a pod of nearly 50 dolphins swam gracefully right beneath us. My child was fascinated, peering down into the water. The waves were rough that day, making snorkeling quite challenging. Nevertheless, my child swam desperately toward the captains' calls of "There are dolphins over here!" to meet the dolphin instructors. After reluctantly saying goodbye to the dolphins, we went to see turtles, but unfortunately, we didn't encounter any. However, we were able to swim among many tropical fish and enjoyed kayaking and paddle surfing.

The cheeseburgers that the captain grilled for us on the return boat ride were also very delicious. However, the boat was rocking so much that it was difficult to stand. I recommend that those who are not confident about seasickness take some motion sickness medication before the trip!

It was truly a fun and healing half-day. After returning to Japan, when I asked my child what was the most enjoyable part of the trip, they immediately said it was meeting the dolphins! It became an unforgettable moment for both children and adults. I highly recommend Dolphin University! Thank you very much for the wonderful time.

2010/6/20にイルカ大学に入学そして無事卒業しました。
家族で2度目のハワイでしたが、イルカ先生に会いに行くのは初めてでした。きっかけは子供にイルカと戯れさせたい！でした。でも野生のイルカなんて、本当に９０％以上の確立であえるのだろうか？と半信半疑でした。でももしイルカに会えなくても様々なアクティビティーがあるとの事で、イルカ大学に入学することに決めました。
当日は快晴、おいしいマラサダも食べれて、すでにみんなのテンションは上がりっぱなし。でもいざボートに乗ってみると、風が強く、ボートはかなりの揺れ・・・一緒に参加していた人たちも少し気分悪そうでした。コオリナのきれいな景色を見て気を紛らわせながら、イルカを探しましたが、なかなか見つかりませんでした。でもキャプテンたちが一生懸命探してくれ、念願のイルカを発見。船の前で、ジャンプしたりスピンしたり・・・気分の悪さも吹っ飛びました。
早速海に飛び込むと５０頭近くのイルカの群れが、私たちの真下を悠然と泳いでいきました。子供は夢中で下を覗いていました。この日は波が荒く、シュノーケルするのも大変でした。それでも子供はイルカ先生に会うため、キャプテンたちの「こっちにイルカいるよ」の声を目指して、必死に泳いでいました。名残惜しく、イルカ先生と別れた後、亀を見に行きましたが、残念ながら会えませんでした。でもたくさんの熱帯魚の群れの中で泳げ、カヤックやパドルサーフィンも楽しめました。
帰りのボートの上でキャプテンの焼いてくれたチーズバーガーもとてもおいしかったです。ただ、ボートがすごい揺れで、立っているのも難しいくらいでした。船酔いに自信の無い方は酔い止めを飲んでいくこと、おすすめです！
本当にとっても楽しく癒された半日でした。
日本に帰国した後、子供に旅行の中で一番楽しかったことをたずねると、真っ先にイルカと会えたこと！といいました。
子供にとっても、大人にとっても、忘れられない瞬間になりました。
イルカ大学、一番のお勧めです！
楽しい時間を本当にありがとうございました。

I will participate again!! An at-family dolphin tour! It was moving!! また参加します！！アットファミリーなイルカツアー！　感動です！！

Reviewed by: 名門イルカ大学卒業生No０６２２

I had the best experience among all the optional tours I've participated in so far. "Prestigious Dolphin University" is my top recommendation!! This was actually my second time participating. I couldn't forget the excitement from my last visit (a few years ago), so I joined again this year. Last time, I encountered many dolphins, but this time I was amazed to see a pod of over 100 dolphins. The closest I got was just 20 centimeters away. It seemed like the dolphins were coming closer to observe us. It felt as if the dolphins were the tour organizers, coming to deepen their interaction with humans.

My wife, who is approaching 50, has been struggling with menopausal symptoms and has been feeling down lately, but on this day, she was at peace and said, "I felt healed. I became very happy. Surrounded by a family of dolphins, I spoke a lot and learned a lot. I was able to feel the importance of family and nature, and the greatness of nature through meeting them. My heart was filled with happiness." Seeing my wife's smile again also healed me. I feel very fortunate to have chosen "Prestigious Dolphin University" again.

After encountering the dolphins, we moved a little to see sea turtles. That was even more moving. We encountered a mother and baby sea turtle!! It was thrilling. In addition to snorkeling, you can also enjoy sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. Thanks to the friendly crew, we had a great time on the boat with BBQ burgers and songs played on the ukulele.

By the way, my wife cannot swim at all, but she was able to participate with peace of mind. We have decided to bring our 3-year-old grandchild with us to join this tour next year. It became the best memory in Hawaii. I am grateful to all the staff.

P.S. To return to the beginning of the story, before heading to Waianae, the tour stopped at the famous Leonard's to enjoy their signature malasadas. Delicious!! They taste like churro-flavored fried dough, and I could get addicted... By the way, they have different flavors each week. Foodies will be happy just with this breakfast. Give it a try.

今まで参加した数あるオプショナルツアーの中で最高の経験が出来ました。
「名門イルカ大学」は一番のオススメです！！
実は参加は２回目。前回（数年前）の感動が忘れられず、今年も参加させていただきました。前回も多くのイルカに出会うことができましたが今回は１００頭を超えるイルカの群れに遭遇し、感動しました。その時の最大接近距離は２０センチ。イルカから近寄ってきて、こちらを観察しているように見えました。まるでイルカ側がツアー主催者で、人間との交流を深めに現場に足を運んできた？？感じでした。
５０歳目前の妻は更年期障害に悩まされ、塞ぎがちな毎日を送っていましたが
この日ばかりは顔からして心穏やかで「癒された。とても幸せな気持ちになった。イルカの家族に囲まれ、多くを語り、多くを学んだ。家族や自然の大切さ、自然の偉大さを彼らと出会うことで感じ取ることができた。心が幸せで満たされた。」と、なにか大切なものを得たようです。妻の笑顔を再び見れた私も癒されました。「名門イルカ大学」を再び選択してとても幸運でした。
イルカに遭遇した後はウミガメを見に少し移動。
そこでも更に感動。ウミガメの親子に遭遇！！　感激でした。
シュノーケリングの他にシーカヤックやスタンドアップ・パドルも楽しめます。
フレンドリーなクルーの方のおかげでBBQバーガー、ウクレレを使った歌など船上でも十分楽しめました。

ちなみに妻は全く泳げませんが、安心して参加できました。
来年は３歳の孫を連れて一家でこのツアーに参加しようと決めています。
ハワイで一番の思い出になりました。スタッフの皆様に感謝です。

PS:　話しは最初ツアー出発時に戻りますが、ツアーはワイアナに向かう前に名物マサラダを食するため名店レナーズに立ち寄りました。うまい！！味はチュロス味の揚げパンでヤミ付きになりそう・・・ちなみに週替わりでいろんなフレーバーがあるそうです。
グルメな方はこの朝食だけでも幸せになれます。お試しあれ。

A wonderful three hours. 素敵な3時間。

Reviewed by: Mまま

I applied for the tour where you can see dolphins, drawn in by the rave reviews from participants and the $7.77 campaign.

Even at an early hour, the program coordinator was full of energy, sharing various stories along the way and treating us to the popular, fluffy, delicious malasadas. The malasadas were indeed as fluffy and tasty as I had heard!

After eating the malasadas, it was a 30-minute ride to the boat. Once we arrived, we boarded the boat and set off. We performed a prayer ritual under the blue sky and the deep blue sea, and then we finally departed to search for the dolphins.

As soon as we spotted them, we jumped into the water. Even those who can't swim can feel at ease. The handsome instructor accompanied us and took good care of the other participants, providing guidance so we could see the dolphins up close.

This time, we were able to see a pod of dolphins about twice. When I saw them from the boat, they were spinning and jumping, and I thought they were swimming quite close to the surface. However, in reality, they were swimming deep in the ocean, so at first, I understood why the instructor was shouting,

"Don't splash around!!!"

It seems that it's best to put your face in the water and take a look. Getting off the boat means that the dolphins are just around the corner... I didn't realize this, so I could only see the last part of the pod, but I was still able to see beautiful dolphins. I heard that some people even got to hear the dolphins chatting with each other.

After that, we returned to the boat and had time to play with canoes and stand-up paddles, observe sea turtles, and enjoy snorkeling. By this time, I, who usually handles vehicles well, was feeling quite seasick.

I had promised my mom that I would ride in the canoe, but seeing how sick I was feeling, she was considerate and suggested we go snorkeling instead. As soon as we returned, she was super excited. Apparently, the tropical fish swarming around the bread the captain had given us were irresistibly cute.

After that, my mom happily went out to do stand-up paddling and took the lead in rowing the canoe, trying to help me feel better from the seasickness. Thanks to her, I managed to feel better, and I also got to enjoy snorkeling, which I love.

その事に気づかなかった私は群れの最後の方を見ることしか出来なかったけど、それでも十分な程美しい
イルカを見ることが出来ました。
中にはイルカ達がキューキューとお話しする声を聞けた人もいたそうです。

その後、船に戻り、カヌーやスタンドアップパドルをして遊んだり、ウミガメさんを観察したり、シュノーケリングを楽しむ時間に。
この頃には乗り物に強い私もかなりの船酔いになってしまいました。

カヌーに乗ると母と約束したけど、想像以上に気持ち悪がる私に気を遣っていたので、もったいないからシュノーケリングに行くよう勧めると帰ってくるなり大興奮。
どうやらキャプテンパパさんが持たせてくれたパンのエサに群がる熱帯魚が可愛くてたまらなかったそうです。

その後も母は、スタンドアップパドルをしにうきうきで

It's so healing!! 癒されます！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The space with dolphins is so healing! You can spend memorable moments there.

When I saw the yellow bus that said "Prestigious Dolphin University," I felt a mix of excitement about meeting the dolphins and anxiety about what was going to happen.

However, the instructor was bright and communicated well, which quickly eased my worries. We boarded the boat and headed out to sea to search for dolphins, but there were times when I wondered if we would actually get to swim with them. Still, while relaxing on the boat and feeling the ocean breeze, I was soothed by live Hawaiian music. Finally, we found wild dolphins, and I will never forget the experience of swimming close to them.

It was truly moving to be able to swim with a pod of dolphins in the calm and unique underwater space.

Not only did we snorkel with dolphins, but we also had the opportunity to canoe and try paddle surfing. I had a very fulfilling time on the boat as well. I was healed by the live Hawaiian music and learned about Hawaiian culture through prayer songs and dances, which made me love Hawaii even more.

Also, the cheeseburger that my dad made on the boat and the pineapple he prepared were truly exceptional.

I think that even those participating alone, those with small children, or those who are not confident swimmers can feel safe joining in, thanks to the thoughtful care of the instructors.

イルカとの空間、癒されます！そして心に残るひとときが過ごせますよ。

「名門いるか大学」と書かれた黄色のバスのお迎えに、イルカに会えるわくわくを越えて何が始まっちゃうんだろという不安がありました。

しかし、インストラクターのお姉さんが明るくコミュニケーションをとってくれたので、不安はすぐに消えました。
船にのり、イルカ探しに沖合いにでましたが、なかなかイルカが見つからず、一緒に泳げるんだろうかと思う時間もありました。でも、船の上で海の風にあたりのんびりしながら、生のハワイアンミュージックに心が癒されました。
そして、やっと野生のイルカが見つかり、間近で泳ぐことできたことは忘れません。

海の中の静かで落ち着く独特な空間をイルカの群れと泳げるなんて、ほんとに感動です。

イルカと泳げるシュノーケルだけではなく、カヌーやパドルサーフィンもできました。
船上でもとても充実した時間を過ごせました。
生のハワイアンミュージックに癒され、お祈りの歌やダンスなどハワイの文化を学ぶことができ、もっとハワイが好きになりました。

そして、パパが船上でつくってくれたチーズバーガー、準備してくれたパイナップルは、ほんとに格別でした

お一人での参加や小さなお子様が居る方、泳ぎが苦手な方でも、インストラクターの皆さんの細やかな気遣いをしてくださるので安心して参加できると思います。

Among the many dolphin tours available, I discovered the $7.77 campaign and decided to give it a try. I had seen dolphins a few times before, but this was my first time swimming with them, so I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately, on the day of the tour, I found myself unable to enter the water. At first, I thought about canceling, but since it was okay to participate without getting in the water, I decided to go ahead.

The guide picked me up at my hotel, and on the way, I had a malasada as a breakfast substitute. It's like a fried doughnut coated in sugar with a chewy texture. I heard there’s a shop in Yokohama too... I would have been happier without it, but it was delicious!

After about a 30-minute drive, we moved to a beautiful coastal area with stunning scenery. Then we switched to a boat to search for dolphins! If we encountered a lot of dolphins, we would jump into the water. Unfortunately, since I was on the boat, I could only see them from a distance... After that, we swam with sea turtles, and during about an hour of free time, everyone else went snorkeling. I found it a bit boring since I couldn’t get in the water...

Also, if you get seasick, taking motion sickness medication is a must! It was quite cold, so a hoodie and sunglasses were essential too.

数あるイルカツアーの中、今回＄7.77キャンペーンを発見して試しにと申し込んでみました。
イルカは何度か見た事があったのですが一緒に泳げるというのは初めてで楽しみにしてました。
が、当日残念ながら海に入れない状況になってしまいました。
最初はキャンセルしようかなと思いましたが海に入らなくても参加OKとの事でしたので参加することに。

ホテルまでガイドの方が迎えに来てくれて、途中で朝ごはん代わりにマラサダを食べました。これは、揚げパンに砂糖がたくさんつけてもちもちの食感にしたようなもの。横浜にも店があるみたいです。。。。これ、なかったらうれしかったのになぁ。でもおいしかったです！

そして車で30分くらいのり、とっても景色の奇麗な海岸へ移動します。その後、船にうつりイルカ探しへ！
たくさんのイルカと遭遇したらそのまま海へ入ります。私は残念ながら船の上からだったので遠目でした…。
その後もウミガメと泳いだり1時間くらいの自由時間でみんなはシュノーケルしたりしてました。
やはり海に入れない私はちょっと退屈してしまいました…。

あと船酔いするので酔い止めは必須！結構寒いのでパーカーとサングラスも必須でした。

They will even take pictures for you for an extra fee of $15 (you take the film home.) Don't forget to bring money for a tip.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

nice experience

Reviewed by: jeannette

Going to a luau is something everyone should do at least once. Paradise cove is beautiful and the staff very friendly. The "games" are not impressive, but give you something to do. The show is good. The food is good but not labeled, so try everything. Did not like most of the native dishes, but the pork and chicken were excellent. The drinks are poured in front of you, shots measured and often generous. Unless you are a drinker, I would not say they are watered down. You can purchase bigger, "better" drinks as well. (i didn't need to.) Had the standard package and would not bother with more expensive packages, seats are all good and buffet lines move quickly and plenty of food. Bring small bills for tips. I would recommend this activity to family and friends. Some small children there, ok for kids.

It was great! 良かったですよ！

Reviewed by: よしＦＺＸ

I can't dive, but I wanted to see the underwater world, so I participated. (10 AM session: Japanese guide available)

During the transfer to the submarine on the shuttle boat, there was an announcement saying, "It will be rocky today," but it was fine. (My mother, who was with me, got a little seasick.) If you're worried about seasickness, it might be a good idea to take medication in advance. (Medication is also available for purchase on the shuttle boat.)

The inside of the submarine was more spacious than I expected, and it was comfortable without feeling cramped. (The floor might be a bit cold?) Unfortunately, we didn't see any sea turtles, but we were able to see many fish living among the reefs, the wreckage of an airplane, and a sunken ship. Even my mother, who got seasick, was moved by watching the fish swim around.

I'm glad I participated in this tour! I will definitely sign up again when I travel to Hawaii!

ダイビングは出来ないけど、海の中が見たくて参加しました。（１０時の回：日本語でのガイド有り）

シャトルボートで潜水艦まで移動の際「今日は揺れます」とアナウンスがありましたが、大丈夫でした。（同行の母は軽く酔ってしまいましたが）
船酔いに心配な方は、前もって薬を服用した方が良いかもしれません。（薬はシャトルボート内でも販売しています）

潜水艦内は思っていたより狭くなく、圧迫感もなく快適でした。（足元が少し寒いかも？）
残念ながら海ガメは見れませんでしたが、漁礁、飛行機の残骸、難破船を棲み家にしている沢山の魚たちを見る事ができました。船酔いしてしまった母も魚が海中を動き回る様子を見て感動していました。
